Abstract
Cinema has experienced considerable growth in Colombia in the last 15 years, particularly since the Film Law (Law No. 814, 2003) that allowed and promoted the development of Colombian films, while encouraging different stages of audiovisual creation and distribution. However, the increase in productions and some box office successes do not mean that national cinema has become a solid, profitable and culturally consolidated industry. On the other hand, more recently, a new cultural policy, protected by short-term economic interest, seeks to attract foreign investment in the audiovisual sector through economic and tax advantages framed in the Location Colombia Law (Law No. 1556, 2012). This Law has been considered a success by the Ministry of Culture, although its revenues have not been proven as sustainable beyond the temporary benefit in terms of employment and hotel occupancy. The development of national cinema and the execution of these two laws show the change of discourse between the cultural industry and the creative industry, with a marked emphasis on economic interest over social and cultural benefit.
